UFC London 2022: When is event and how to buy tickets
After a three-year wait, the UFC is finally set to return to London.
A London card was held in February or March each year between 2016 and 2019, with the 2020 edition of the event cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. Prior to 2016, London had hosted UFC events on seven occasions.
No card was held in the English capital in 2021, but the UFC announced in January that a 2022 event would go ahead in March, with the promotion’s president Dana White saying: “I wanna say thanks to all the fans, they’ve hung in there for a long time while we’ve scrapped and battled and tried to figure out how to deliver it to you guys out there.
“The UK is one of the territories that I’m really excited about, and I haven’t been this excited about it since like 2003 or ‘04 or something.”
At the time of writing, no fights have been announced for UFC London, but here is all you need to know about the event and how you can buy tickets.
When is it?
UFC London will take place on 19 March 2022.
